In reply to the discussion: Can someone explain to me what treasonous "scandle" Obama committed... [View all]Brenda
(2,087 posts)23. Great job pbmus, thanks.
- **Obamas Response**: Obamas office issued a rare statement calling the allegations bizarre, ridiculous, and a weak attempt at distraction. It emphasized that the 2016 intelligence communitys findings, affirmed by a 2020 bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report (led by Marco Rubio), concluded Russia sought to influence the election
### Critical Analysis
The allegations rely heavily on Gabbards interpretation of declassified documents, which critics argue misrepresent or cherry-pick data to fit a narrative. No major investigation, including special counsel John Durhams three-year probe, found evidence of a criminal conspiracy by Obamas administration. The timing of these claims, amid Trumps Epstein-related controversies, suggests a political motive rather than a substantive legal case. The lack of concrete evidence and the dismissal by bipartisan and expert sources undermine the credibility of the treason narrative.

She's been either threatened or bribed. Like all the others.

She's shameless. I literally feel second hand embarrassment watching her tell these ridiculous lies.

Obama's sins: Handsome, sexy, debonaire, intelligent, well spoken, kind, wonderful public servant.

Pretty much the same grievances since 2017, but Tulsi now says they constitute treason.

He's had not an ounce of credibility since the birthergate nonsense and he's just recycling the same crap

Was that when Paul McCartney came to the White House and sang "Michelle, la belle."
